On the Hunt for the missing $millions

STT has heard that the greentards in charge of the ARENA fund and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation have been shoveling millions of dollars out the door to their wind industry mates, as fast as they can over the last few weeks.

The Battle for Yorke Peninsula’s Heartland “ploughs on” at Curramulka

A Yorke Peninsula farmer has just sent a "crop circles with attitude" message loud and clear to the German/Indian outfit that wants to destroy the best barley growing country in Australia, that they can take a running jump off the Stansbury cliffs.

Sorry Denis, another one bites the dust

Denis "I love nacelles" Napthine managed to hit the pages of STT before he even hit the ground as the new Premier of Victoria.

With wind power making up around 35% of SA's total generating capacity, it’s no surprise that it has the highest power … Continue reading We’re from the Government, and we’re here to “help”

We Shall Fight Them On the Beaches

The Scots have been long renowned for their fighting spirit. Think William Wallace and his mates, armed with sticks and a few claymores, wearing nothing more than last year’s drapes and some overworked and misplaced blue eyeshadow, giving the English a right Royal thumping. Scottish MP, Struan Stevenson is not only ready to cry “freedom”, … Continue reading We Shall Fight Them On the Beaches

Victims: John and Anne Carter

STT would like to introduce John and Anne Carter, who have lived next to the Crookwell wind farm in NSW since it began operation in 1998.

Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up

"Smokin'" Joe Hockey, odds on to be our next Treasurer, appeared on Alan Jones' show last week, being quizzed hard about the great Australian wind power fraud. Listen here. Joe did his best to stick to the script, bleating name, rank and "no carbon tax" in answer to a barrage of questions directed at the … Continue reading Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up
